Quite heavy case was decided by Judge
Snyder on Tuesday, which involved the ques'
ton whether woman can force herself upon
the public on election day or not. Now,
Judge Snyder is man whose chivalric in.
stincts are we'll known, and to decide the
case against the dear ladies was task he
little relishs l, but he grasped the case in
both hands and shut his eyes, as the figure
of justice usually does. Al
Two elections for school directors had
occurred in Hennepin township, Putnam
Co., last spring, in which John Allen and
Alphreta Cofoid were declared elected. In
the first case-that of Allen-Thomas w
Sheppard in the interest, as he alleged, Of
fair play, protested that John Peters was
rightfully entitled to the seat, inasmuch as
Alphreta Cofoid and Anna Allen voted al
that election, and women have no voice al
the polls. Then again, three of the Allen
boys who live outside the district also voted
and as the vote of the whole district would
not 20 much over 20, it made very pre-
ceptible difference in the result. This case
the Judge decided against Peters and CON
irmed Aliens election. Peters then appeal
cd to the supreme court.
In the other election, Mrs. Cofoid was op
posed by David Sellers. Sheppard again
annoorod for tho sake of 60 iuaticaY in favor
of Sellers, alleging that Mrs. Cofoid voted
for herself, and that Sellers was counted
out by series of tricks, rivalling in
measure, the Louisiana returning boards
antics in their many brassy connections
Judge Snyder repelled the advances Of the
Cofoid constituents very tenderly, and in a
voice choked with emotion, declared Sellers
elected.

A Savings Bank.

We have on several occasions in the past,
maintained the desirability of having
Savings Bank in Ottawa, especially as a help
to the poorer classes, but have not as yet
learned that any Of our capitalists have taken
any serious steps in the matter.
We now know that Mr.. Sherwood intends
putting large burglar-proof vault with
safety deposit boxes inside of it, in the cor
ner room of the Opera House block during
the coming three months; but whether this
means another National Bank, savings
bank, private bank or simply the lsas-
ing of these safety deposit boxes, we do not
know.
We suppose many of our readers know
that our last legislature passed bill for the
organization of savings associations with
limited responsibility to those organizing
under the law. This bill was not signed by
the Governor, but became law by the
elapsing Of the usual ten days without his
disapproval; and some Of our eminent law
yers, IS we understand, consider this law
unconstitutional. 1t would seem, therefore,
that the people are unable to safely organize
savings banks in way to limit the liability
Of the shareholders, or trustees, to the
amount of their shares Of stock therein or
even double the amount, as in National
Banks. if the law is unconstitutional. So, as
near as we can figure it out, we are depend
end on some man or men Of large wealth,
and known integrity, to open such an in
stitution and thereby place his entire prop
erty as security for every dollar deposited
in such an institution.
1t is manifestly difficult to find men OF
known integrity, wealth and nerve to open
such an institution, thereby assuming all its
responsibilities, pay the interest on deposits
and keep numerous small accounts, for the
small profit that can be realized out Of the
business. So the matter is unsolved as yet;
Ottawa still wants savings bank, and will
have the safety deposit vault st least.

II all In preference to lowering prices al

ruptcy. The truth is, the tariff has failed
TO make the "home market" Its projectors

The Farmers congress In session at Chi
cago on Friday last (some 300 delegates
being present. adopted series of resolu.
tions, asking az that the government as,
sumo control of the business of the tele.
graph service; (2) that law in relation to
infectious diseases of cattle be passed
which shall place its execution in the hands
of a commission; (3) the establishment OF
a scientific school for the teaching of vet
Urinary and sanitary science; (4 that the
signal service be turned over to the agricul.
tural department; (5) that an appropriation
be made for the further investigation of
swine and chicken cholera; and (6) that
the agricultural department be represented
In the cabinet. Resolutions also were pre-
sented demanding progressive annual in
crease of duties on the importation OF for.
eign woods, until wool growing shall be
made fairly remunerative," &c; but the
discussion showed decidedly divided opin-
Ion on the subject, and they were finally
referred back 70 the committee on resolu-
lions. Col. Dudley of Virginia read a
paper In which he attempted to show that
the only way to protect the wheat growing
interests Is to increase the present protec-
tive tariff of zoe. per bushel on that cereal.
II there can be any greater absurdity
among the multitude of absurdities In the
protectionist's bundle Of arguments, the
chrome is In readiness for claimant! As
II is manifest We cannot consume now what
we raise, how can wheat tariff protect the
wheat farmer, seeing he is not in competi-
ton with the importer and that his price Is
fixed In Liverpool and not In New York or
ChIcagos What the farmer is suffering
from Is not importation but low foreign
market. If he is to throw, as the pretec-
Zionist says, the grain he now exports on a
home market alone, he had better destroy
